Parties and Paint.....

 
Remember the children's program Mister Ben? Well Liz Truss went into the changing room and came out as Rishi Sunak our new Prime Minister. 

In another seemingly quick change my little nieceL has had her 50th birthday. We went to her celebration party Saturday evening and it was lovely to see her and other family members. 

I've been getting ready for Halloween. Gone are the days of pumpkin carving with the children and cooking a spooky dinner here and heading outside in the dark to catch the sweets the witches keep dropping off of their broomsticks. However the neighbours have young children and I'm happy to wrap sweets for when they trick-or-treat.
Instead of pumpkins I'll put lights in these milk bottles so they can see they are welcome to knock.

I've a happy Hubby now as he has decided to refurbish our bedroom; repair, repaint and recarpet. All prep and paint for now and carpet after Christmas when the sales are on. 
AND at the same time he is giving the office a makeover. Son had said he wants our treadmill and multi-gym but he's having major building works at his house so we won't move those for quite a while. So it's boxing up all the Atari, PlayStation and the Nintendo stuff which includes the SNES and the SNES64 (there's loads) that are no longer played with and sorting out what else can go. Hubby's researching what furniture can go in there to make it more cosy. However no new stuff can go in until old stuff goes and it's clear enough for him to install some underfloor heating as it's always been a cold room. 
Two long term projects, so a very happy Hubby. 😊 

For friendM's birthday eight of us went Turkish. Then back to hers for more drinks (I had coffee) and the birthday cake. A lovely evening. 
We should have had two grandchildren and the dog here all week and sleeping over, however both children ended up with other plans and M was happy being taxi and caterer until he landed two days on a film set so in the end we had just the dog for four of the days and no one sleeping here. 

Have a spooky weekend.
